DIY: Hydraulic Handbrake Install

[Streichholzschächtelchen]

It seams I dont have any pics with the ash tray assembly back in on my phone...

But it comes up like so.




And looks like this.

What is this shift boot from? A wrangler?

Yeah I ended up jacking the left side of my car as high as I could and bled it. Feels pretty tight now.

Another way.
This is how I made my hydraulic handbrake setup.

Looks like a nice setup! But... Did you use copper? I've seen the "green coated" lines and the old school standard steel lines. I've even seen stainless steel lines in the hot-rod world. But I have not seen copper used on brake systems. How do you like them? I imagine the copper would be extremely easy to bend... Does your fluid react with the copper line in any way? Which fluid did you use? Did the copper flare easily or were the flares prone to cracking?

This is more than less directed at mikeday, but i mounted my wilwood cylinder on its side, similar to how he did, and now i am having a helllll of a time bleeding it. Any tips?

This may sound idiotic, but seriously, park it crossways on an incline with the Driver side raised. Or... It may work to bench-bleed the master and re-install it.

I am pretty sure, but to clarify, will I see any huge noticeable issues with my ABS or rear breaks the way I have my 96' M3 plumbed?

Its a 2 to 1 back to 2 inline setup.

Use hard lines as much as possible. Even with steel braided flexible lines the handbrake felt mushy.

hmm now I want one of these set up for no good reason. Question, instead of using hard lines, why not use flexible lines like this one?

I would think cost savings would be the motivator to use hard lines.
